Jasper and the Miners

Capo on II(Em) (Em/d#) (Em/d) (A7/c#) (G) (C) (Cm) (G)(Em) Jasper told the (Em/d#) miners (Em/d) not to dig too (A7/c#) deepFor (G) they just might find (C) something he'd (Cm) rather keep (G) asleepThe (Em) miners took their (Em/c#) joking, (Em/d) leaning on their (A7/c#) spadesWhile (G) Jasper got so (C) nervous and (Cm) a-pointing the other (G) wayThe other (C) way... (D) the other (G) wayNow if I'll pay you money, said Jasper with a grinWould you go and leave me and not start digging inO no we're men of honesty said a miner very slyWe don't like deception and we don't like to lieLike to lie... like to lieWe see by your forehead that you're a brilliant manWon't you let us help you, we'll do the best we canSo the miners started digging, and out the dirt did flyThey never noticed Jasper had brought his .45.45... his .45Jasper was so furious, shot them one by oneAnd covered them up neatly in the hole they'd just begunThe last time I saw Jasper he was running down the roadWith his boots put on backwards just in case it snowedIn case it snowed... in case it snowed
